Stats... 103.98km in 5hrs 12mins. We were up early as it was already extremely hot in the tent and waved off Sophie and Steve on their way to the lakes. We had to backtrack 20km to Borje mostly uphill but we did this in good time feeling strong for having a day off. We managed to leave the busy roads for some lovely quiet roads however our map did not completely cover our route and we had to use the compass to guide us. We got where we wanted to be but we dont know how! We both reached our top speeds of the trip to date on one steep downhill. The temperature was in the thirties and we felt it! It was thankfully slightly downhill into Gracec where we reached the 100km mark and needed a break. We found an ATM and a supermarket for a fuel stop and as I shopped, Kris inquired with all the shoppers whether we could stay at their house as the one and only hotel was skanky and expensive. We were in luck as one guy had his own B&B offered us a room at a discount. We followed him up the road in his car to a huge house which was often used by hunters as it was on the edge of massive hunting grounds. As we were shown to our room we passed a bear and a wolf pinned to the wall! We joined the hosts and other guests to watch Croatia v Turkey and were offered a lovely meat and chips dinner for free which we indulged on.
